So how will this be part of the boat-building? Sorry - I am not sure the exact connection...
For lofting the boat... and actually the "lifting, lofting" in that poem is the "lofting" i was talkin' about
"lofting" a boat is when you layout the lines... because in the olden days they would have a "loft" which was a special place for laying out the boat. The square will be used to mark points...
I mean they laid the lines out... like in the second story "loft"... I'm sleepy, probably not making sense.
So the square is a tool to lay out the boat boards at the right angle...?
Kinda. See the picture here... I have to some lines like those.
Okay...:)
